    The document discusses several key demographic features of India's population, including its rapid growth rate, age composition, sex ratio, and rural-urban distribution. Some key points are: - India has the second largest population in the world, around 1.38 billion currently, and is expected to grow to over 1.7 billion by 2060. - The population is relatively young, with over half under age 30. This impacts the dependency ratio. - India's sex ratio is unbalanced, with fewer females than males (around 940 females per 1000 males). Some states have much lower ratios. - The population remains predominantly rural, though urbanization is increasing over time. - Population density

    determining the proportion of the labour force in the
    total population.
    • The age group of working population in India
    is considered as 15-60(yrs).

    • On this basis the percentage distribution of India's


    population is estimated.

    • The two important points can be noted in regard
    to the age composition of India's population. They
    are

    • 1.india is a young nation in the literal sense of the


    term. More than half the India's population
    consists of young people.

    • 2.The age distribution indicates that every one


    person, on an average has to earn for himself and
    for one dependent also. this is because the
    dependency ratio is high in India.

    GENDER COMPOSITION
    Sex ratio is a powerful indicator of the social health of any
    society conveys a great deal about the state of gender
    relations.

    Sex ratio refers to the number of females per thousand males.


    the sex ratio composition gives the ratio of women to men in
    the total population and reflects the relative chances of
    survival of women.

    The sex ratio in India is against to female population .in fact


    two significant things can be observed in the sex distribution
    of population in India .they are
    1. There is a higher ratio of males in the population
    2. There is a rising tendency towards masculinity.
    the proportion of females per 1000 males has fallen from 972 in
    1901 to 933 in 2001 and 940 in 2011.

    GENDER COMPOSITION
    • Over all trend is that sex ratio in India is the lowest in
    the world and is a reflection of the gender disparity.
    This continuo's decline in sex ratio in the country is
    mainly due to:
    • 1.Female selective termination of pregnancy.
    • 2.Increase in the proportion of male selective migrants
    from other countries.
    • 3.Reduction in foetal wastage resulting in a decline in
    female-male ratio at birth .
    • 4.Increased discrimination of females in providing the
    minimum nutrition's access to health and other
    amenities
    • 5.Passion for male child etc .

    Pondicherry recorded a higher proportion of females
    i.e. 1,084 and 1,038 respectively in 2011 per 1000

    RURAL-URBAN COMPOSITION
    • The rural urban composition of India's population
    reflects on the pattern of living of country's population.

    • As a matter of fact, the ratio of rural-urban population


    of a country. As the industries get momentum , ratio of
    urban population go on increasing. As India is
    predominantly agricultural country ,ratio of urban
    population is less as compared to rural population.

    average number of persons living per square km of area
    within the territory of the country.

    • Density of population = total population


    ------------------------------------
    total area
    .Density of population is considered as one of the
    important demographic features of the population of a
    country.
    . It helps to determine the magnitude of the burden that
    land is being called upon to carry and determine the
    future potential growth.
